Soooo...Is it polygamy then if more Otaku decide to marry this character, or does he have all-exclusive rights on her now?
Is he going to stand at the altar with a cardboard cutout or something? Kiss his DS screen? So many questions...

Meh, why not? If you're that lonely or scared to interact with the opposite sex in real life (or have been scarred by a real life relationship) I don't really see the problem. I mean if it makes him happy to do this why not let him and leave him be? I mean isn't that the point of life, to be happy? Who are we to judge what makes someone else happy as long as it's not hurting anyone.
I'd keep a Chobits-like robot over a real woman if I had the option and I'm not a bad looking guy at all.
There is just so much give and take in a long term relationship that an android woman would solve. She would be an instant whore for your every need. My place would be clean(er), my dinner cooked, and it wouldn't need gifts or medical insurance. And then you have the actual contact - be it a cuddle all the way up to whatever/whenever. I wouldn't marry it, though! :) I'd probably trade in my model every once in a while.

"Oh well, at least this is harmless to third parties."
Oh, but it's not. This is the kind of thing that gets other otaku harassed. When something strange and high-profile happens and gets publicized, it's the kind of thing that gives griefers fodder for their "fun"-making. "Oh, you're one of those weirdos that watches cartoons. Are you gonna marry Bugs Bunny? LAWL." Etc.
Of course, rational people understand that hardly anyone else does odd things like this, but the world is full of irrational people. It's the same kind of thing that happens when some kids dressed in black shoot up a school and Goths everywhere get looked down on afterwards. Extreme example, but it gets my point across.

American furries were already doing this a few years ago: http://www.crushyiffdestroy.com/show/wedding
Haha. This is awesome!
Seriously, the guy isn't hurting anybody. Purists, moralists and other "ists" who think this is wrong and the guy is retarded and whatever should be worried about killers, rapists, you know, the real bad guys.
This guy is just enjoying life. In a really distorced/awesome way, but he is not harming others.
All said, we have the right to make fun of him.
THE RIGHT, I said.

@Rank57: Saying that it's wrong, I agree with you, /mostly./ I mean, if "they" (he) are getting legal recognition for "their" (his) marriage...well you see where I'm going. It's basically just an easy way for 2d lovers or herbivores to get marriage benefits.
That said, I think that the likelihood of "them" (him) getting legal recognition is lulzy, and that we should not feel bad about making fun of "them" (him).

To point out something we may all have missed (myself included if I had not read the Digg comments), people are okay with a marriage between a man and a 2d character...
and,
have a problem with gay people getting married?

I'll take nene, and MAYBE Manaka, because they are SOOOOO cute. I've seen Nene's and Manaka's swimsuits, which is how I knew the both of them can swim.
